I love to play the devil's advocate and respectfully challenge perspectives. If I get passionate in the process, pls understand I don't mean to offend. Sometimes I express from the bottom of my heart. Some other times I am all cerebral and re-examining everything, including my beliefs. I strive to be honest and receptful in conversations!

I am learning to be a better listener and communicator. - Here to listen, learn, unlearn and relearn ♾ - Nature lover & Explorer 🏔 - Moderate rooms on visual storytelling and social issues 🎤 - Value quality over quantity - Looking to make meaningful and mutually beneficial connections that add value 🤝 - Kindly hold your shot! ❌ - Only emojis acceptable if you DM me are: 🙂🙁 My website: prisuryaneni.com
